The Largest Gold Nugget Ever Found In Alaska. 294.10 troy ounces (9.14 Kilograms, 20.16 pound), and was found near the town of Ruby, Alaska in 1998.
Rest of the train story...
Attica NY
"The Norfolk Southern crew was badly injured, engineer realizes he and conductor are lucky to be alive. As the auto rack freight train was coming through Attica, "washout" was evident as the railroad ties were submerged. They came around the curve and realized they were in trouble. I'm told it would be like a train's version of hydroplaning in a car--there's nothing they could do. The engine rolled over twice down a large embankment, maybe a 70-80 foot drop I'm told. Engineer was knocked out, woke up to two farmers trying to get them out. As far as injuries--engineer broke leg, ankle and has significant gash on forehead which will require multiple stitches. Source tells me conductor broke shoulder and may have broken back. "

He needs a "Wide Load" banner for that haul!
